This provides you with an extra barrier between your tent and the rain. You'll be happy you bought one if it does rain.

And to add to this, also consider a tarp for under the tent so water doesn't necessarily seep through the floor (although it will depend on which manufacturer you get). If you have to do a lot of stuff solo, you want to make sure you can handle putting the tent up by yourself.
